3 HATHAWAY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION ------------------------------------- The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hathaway Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and investments in joint ventures (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current year's presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial data for the interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for the year. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is suggested that the accompanying condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to such statements included in the June 30, 1997 Annual Report and Form 10-K previously filed by the Company. 2. INVENTORIES ----------- Inventories, valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market, are as follows (in thousands): DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 1997 1997 ------------------------- Parts and raw materials, net $2,543 $2,141 Finished goods and work-in process, net 1,133 2,766 ------------------------- $3,676 $4,907 ========================= 3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION -------------------- Effective September 30, 1996, the Company acquired a 100% partnership interest in Tate Integrated Systems (TIS), which has since operated as Hathaway Industrial Automation (HIA). The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the fair values at the date of acquisition. The final net purchase price allocation was as follows (in thousands): Trade receivables, net $ 485 Inventories, net 649 Property and equipment, net 123 Cost in excess of net assets acquired 624 Accounts payable (580) Accrued liabilities and other (209) ------ Net purchase price $1,092 ====== 4 HATHAWAY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE ------------------ In December, 1997 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (EPS). In accordance with the requirements of the Statement, Primary and Fully Diluted EPS has been replaced with Basic and Diluted EPS in all periods for which a Statement of Operations is presented. Basic and Diluted earnings per share have been computed as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------------------------------------------------------- Numerator: Net loss $ (157) $ (226) $ (746) $ (601) Denominator: Weighted average outstanding shares 4,284 4,245 4,284 4,242 -------------------------------------------------------- Basic and Diluted net loss per share $(0.04) $(0.05) $(0.17) $(0.14)
Options to purchase stock were outstanding during the three and six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS due to their anti-dilutive effect on EPS. These outstanding options are summarized as follows:
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------------------------------------------------------- Weighted average outstanding options 708,704 689,745 708,704 544,400 Weighted average exercise price $3.45 $3.24 $3.45 $3.15
At December 31, 1997 outstanding options to purchase 708,704 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $3.45 may have a dilutive effect on future EPS. 5 HATHAWAY CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION All statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from the historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: the unavailability of sufficient capital on satisfactory terms to finance the Company's business plan, increased competition, the introduction of new technologies and competitors into the systems and instrumentation markets where the Company competes, adverse changes in the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. In addition to statements that explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties, readers are urged to consider statements labeled with the terms "believes," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," or "intends" to be uncertain and forward- looking. All cautionary statements made herein should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear. In this connection, investors should consider the risks described herein. OPERATING RESULTS - ----------------- For the second quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company recognized a net loss of $157,000 or $.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $226,000 or $.05 per share, for the same period last year. Included in these results are net losses of $491,000 and $106,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, incurred by Hathaway Industrial Automation (HIA), which was acquired by the Company effective September 30, 1996. Excluding the results of HIA, the Company recognized net income of $334,000 and a net loss of $120,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Revenues increased 7% in the second quarter from $10,368,000 last year to $11,137,000 this year. The Company recognized a net loss of $746,000, or $.17 per share, for the six months ended December 31, 1997, compared to a net loss of $601,000, or $.14 per share, for the six months ended December 31, 1996. Included in these results are HIA's net losses of $943,000 and $106,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Excluding HIA, the Company recognized net income of $197,000 and a net loss of $495,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Revenues for the first six months increased by 8% from $19,186,000 in fiscal 1997 to $20,676,000 in fiscal 1998. The 7% increase in revenues in the second quarter and the 8% increase in revenues for the first six months were due to 15% increases in revenues from the Company's motion control products and 4% increases in revenues from the Company's power and process instrumentation products. For the first six months, the 4% increase in power and process revenues was due to revenues being generated by HIA during both quarters of 1998 compared to only one quarter during 1997, partially offset by a 3% decrease in traditional power and process revenues. In the second quarter, sales to international customers increased from $3,520,000 in fiscal 1997 to $3,547,000 in fiscal 1998. In the first six months, sales to international customers decreased from $6,949,000 to $6,527,000. Foreign sales represented 32% and 34% of total sales in the quarter ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 32% and 36% of total sales in the six months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues in the second quarter and the first six months ended December 31, 1997 remained reasonably consistent with the prior year, decreasing from 65% to 64% in the second quarter and increasing from 64% to 65% in the first six months. Fluctuations in cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues are due to changes in the mix of products sold, price changes implemented in response to market conditions, and other factors. Selling, general and administrative, and engineering and development expenses decreased 1% in the second quarter and increased 3% in the first six months, as compared to the same periods last year. Excluding HIA's selling, general and administrative, and engineering and development expenses incurred in the first quarter of 1998, these expenses decreased 4% in the first six months of 1998, as compared to the same period last year. 6 HATHAWAY CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Company's liquidity position as measured by cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) increased $255,000 during the first six months of fiscal 1998 to a balance of $3,686,000 at December 31, 1997, compared to $1,707,000 used in the first six months of fiscal 1997. Operating activities generated $658,000 in fiscal 1998 compared to $999,000 used in fiscal 1997. The improved cash from operating activities was primarily due to fluctuations in working capital balances. Cash of $289,000 was used by investing activities in the second quarter of 1998, compared to $712,000 used by investing activities last year. The variance was primarily due to $718,000 used in fiscal 1997 for the purchase of the interest in Tate Integrated Systems, offset by the maturity of a long-term investment which was converted into cash in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Financing activities used $111,000 in fiscal 1998 compared to $47,000 used in fiscal 1997. The Company's remaining fiscal 1998 working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, including repayment of the entire balance of the Midland loan, if necessary, are expected to be funded from the existing cash balance of $3,686,000 at December 31, 1997. In addition, the Company may seek additional debt, equity or other financing, particularly if it must fully repay the Midland loan balance, in order to supplement its long-term financial resources. There can be no assurance, however, that additional debt, equity or other financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. 7 HATHAWAY CORPORATION PART II.
